Road tbe Ptaladealflr for -- Entire County Makes Grand Showing --Woodstock Goes "Over the Top" With More Than $300,000 The second liberty loan drive came to a very successful close last Satur­ day night with McHenry county sub­ scribing very near $1,000,000. v This was made possible thru per feet organization. The various com­ mittees thruout the entire county worked hard and with the co-opera' tior. of the public spirited and patri­ otic people residing within her borders McHenry county made a showing that we may all point to with great pride, Here in McHenr-y township the showing made is indeed a most grati­ fying one, the tytal amount subscribed being $97,350. Up until Friday morn­ ing the work of the various local com mittees was confined almost exclusive­ ly to the village of McHenry, while Friday and Saturday saw the men canvassing the rural districts adja­ cent to the village, with the result that a large number of subscriptions were brought in during the last two days ' Much credit is due to the McHenry county organization and to every one who in any way assisted in making possible the excellent showing. C. W. Stenger, county chairman of the sec­ ond liberty loan committee, is worthy of considerable praise for the manner in which he conducted the drive, as are members of the various commit­ tees appointed thruout the entire county. However, their brilliant suc­ cess could never have been made pos­ sible without the co-operation of the loyal people of the county, so, in short, every subscriber to a liberty bond is also entitled to a vote of thanks. Mr. Stenger, who met with such an unfortunate and painful accident last Friday afternoon, not being able to thank the people in person, has asked us to extend his appreciation thru the columns of The Plaindealer this week. He wishes to thank those men who were members of the various commit­ tees, not only in McHenry, but thru­ out the entire county, and also wisheq us to thank for him the good people of McHenry county whose names ap­ pear upon the various rolls of honor distributed thruout the county. Even during the hours of his suffering the genial county chairman expresses his enthusiasm for the success attained, and only Monday morning, when the writer visited him at his bedside, the popular young man was all joy, in spite of his pains, for the manner in which the people stood by him in thiB patriotic work.

Owing to the short notice given the township chairman, only one place has been set aside for registration, that used as the regular polling pre­ cinct for years and every woman in the township should register. The hours of registration will be from 9:00 a. m. until 5:00 p. in. abd in the evening from 7:00 till 9:00 for the accommodation of those who can­ not register during the day. We urge it upon every woman and girl from the age of sixteen years up to go to the registration room, where trained registrars will be in at­ tendance, and respond to the' first call of the council of National Defense, that of taking a war census of the 3,000,000 women of Illinois and a rec­ ord of the training and abilities they have to fitter before the needs arise. Hie United States is profiting by the example of other countries at war. They went into the war without mobilization of their women, and when needs arose requiring women, as they did almost immediately, each separ­ ate need had to be handled as a prob lem and a search made for the women to assume it. In taking this census the government is looking ahead and if properly taken will be one of the most valuable assets of the nation, the state, the community. Let every woman register willingly or unwillingly. It will not be a cen­ sus unless they do. There will be a registration fee of 10 cents, five of this will be kept in the township treasury and the other five put into the state treasury to bear the expense of this gigantic responsibility of 1917, which requires thousands of 'dollars for printing, postage and other equip ment.

Stenger, the county chairman, met with a painful acci­ dent at the West McHenry State bank last Friday afternoon. With the assistance of Wm. Spen­ cer, the two, after several attempts to ignite the explosives before receiv­ ing instructions, were obliged to set it aside, but Mr. Stenger, with that never give up" characteristic of his, tried one more experiment, with the result that it exploded in his face, in­ flicting severe burns. Fortunately the eyes escaped fatal injury. Dr. A. I. Froehlich was called in at­ tendance and the patient, tho im­ proving rapidly, is not yet able to assume his duties as cashier at the bank. That he may recover sufficiently to be among his many friends the latter -part of this week is the earnest wish of all his acquaintances in the entire community. Mr. Spencer received slight burns about the face, from which, we are pleased to relate, he readily recovered. Move Back to Town Mr. and Mrs. Jos.
